Step 13: Glue the top

Step 14: Final assembling

Glue the 2 big parts together ( on each other)That's it ! You've just finished your paper bow! You now simply have to glue/tape them on your Christmas...

This instructable will show you how to make your own paper bows to decorate your Christmas or birthday gifts so they look much more nicer !

Why pay for all those ribbons when you could do them without getting out of home and without paying a dime?! The only things you will need are Paper,Scissors,Glue and a bit of Time! Easy and simple its is, you'll never gonna buy them to the store anymore guaranteed!

This is only to show you the basics, but you can try with gift paper of like some people said in comments, try with magazines , it will look much better !
You can also take those scrap gift wrapping this Christmas, and reuse them later to make ribbons!

Thank you for posting this! I used magazines and holiday target books to make mine. They turned out fantastic, everyone really liked them. I know how I'm wrapping all my gifts from now! They look really cool with printed paper very colorful. Thanks!

this is AWESOME I am really going to do this im favoriting this for when christmas comes or when i need it xD dude you are AWESOME! love it xD and if u want u could make the last one (small band) a longer one and put it on a tree or hang it somewhere =D Sweet Christmas (for me) in july! xD

When I read the topic, I immediately thought of the mythbusters episode where they made paper cross-bows. I thought you were making a paper bow as in bow and arrow! :) It looks like it would be really cool if you made the bow from the same wrapping paper, but only for a single gift. Could you imagine wrapping gifts for three children for Christmas, and making all those bows?
